Cafe has good reviews however my family including my extended family went on a holiday to Tasmania & had the worse experience. This was our first stop to begin our holiday. We were kept waiting at the back table outside in the cold with an infant, elderly and a child (who were restless, tired and hungry after a long flight from Melbourne) over 25mins to be told that they were too busy to take our order. We finally walk out and had breakfast at a lovely local bakery called "ZUM". Even if Berta was good, this experience ruined my impression and would NEVER recommend anyone. VERY ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED
Based on his reputation we made a special trip to Berta and were not disappointed.

Although it was busy, surprisingly we had no effort to get a table on a Saturday morning.

There was a lot of variety in the menu - so hard to choose! We opted for the Miso fungi and the porridge. Both were outstanding. The porridge had a beautiful collection of flavors and textures, thanks to the crowping topping and peat fruit. The mushrooms were far away from the standard price, with the miso adding a hit of Umami and another sex layer. The coffee was excellent.

Would definitely return.
Stodgy food, very heavy on eggs. Went for late lunch (1.20pm) after various delays - the first shock was asking for the wine list (at our last visit there was a list of 6 or so wines chalked up on the board) and was told ONE white wine by the glass (Milton Pinot gris - very mediocre). Too late to go anywhere else - the venison ragu was acceptable, the fishcakes dry and boring and the side dish of "crispy potatoes" was anything but, basically wedges which were yellow and soft. Will not be returning, at $78 for 2 dishes and 2 glasses of wine never again
Food was good and flavoursome but unfortunately the worst service EVER. Waited 10 mins for a menu and water, coffees took 30 mins to arrive. Granted it was a Sunday morning, had to ask twice for water. Wrong food was delivered. Waiters complaining about customers hanging around after meals - what ever happened to the customer is always right? No apology of the inconvenience it caused us. Awful service well and truly has turned us off returning.

First decent coffee in Tasmania this visit.Charming little cafe, walked in to see people waiting for a table ... always a good sign. I had the French toasted brioche, with strawberries, pistachios and whipped ricotta..heaven... my daughter had the corn fritters, only complaint was they were a bit greasy due to being deep fried not pan fried but she still found her meal to be very tasty. Would definitely visit again.
This was our local cafe here, while we tried numerous cafes in public holidays, and Berta had better coffee, service and food. Grief
The staff was always super friendly, the food was delicious and it's a great when you sit on the window cabins. We wish we would have a cafe like this home!
Yuuuum! We loved Berta. We waited for a seat on a busy Sunday morning and so glad we did. Best brekky we could find in Hobart - seriously Yum! Corn fritters 10/10. Thanks Berta.
Nice food, nice for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Beautiful coffee and chai, you can say that you really have a passion for food and coffee. Always a delightful experience

Loved the size of the coffee cups, only that bigger than normal. Coffee was great and the food so interesting! Much going on on the plate, but still charged the less.
Always our top choice for brunch. The Hash is to die for. I love the chai lattes - best in town. Definitely recommend
